The conference Interafricaine des Marchés d’Assurance (CIMA) is the insurance sector regulator for fourteen (14) African countries all of which are francophone but Guinea-Bissau. Its ambition is to create a wider and healthier insurance market, as a first step towards the establishment of a single insurance market. To achieve this goal, it relies upon a single set of laws and a single oversight authority to which all of the fourteen (14) Member States have transferred nearly all of their powers.

The main objectives of the CIMA are to:

• Create conditions conducive to the healthy and balanced development of insurance companies
• Foster investment in the economy of their country or the region through insurance and reinsurance operations
• Foster the creation of a broader and more integrated market under the most favorable technical conditions for insurance
• Train managers and technicians in insurance
